Featuring a new demon every Saturday! (No demons were harmed in the making of this blog)

It’s the Demon of the Week blog one week anniversary! Thanks to everyone who visited last week, all 219 of you, and especially to those folks who signed up for the newsletter, the RSS feed, or who left a comment!

New this week, check out the resources page, where you can see the books I get this stuff out of.

I hope you enjoy this week’s demon, the Baobhan Sith. There’s lots more to come. I counted the posts I’ve written and discovered that I’ve got 102 demons, and only scratched the surface. So, consider signing up for the RSS feed or the newsletter so you never miss a demon.

Baobhan Sith

So, once upon a time, there was a group of four hunters in the Scottish highlands who made camp for the night. As soon as dark fell, they build up their fire, and one of them starts to play some music. Someone wishes they had partners to dance with and–oh boy–out of nowhere come these über hot young women dressed all in green and they dance up a storm.

Well, the guy playing music notices something odd about his friends dancing; they’re bleeding. Terrified, he goes and hides between the hooves of the horses, knowing their iron shoes will protect him.

In the morning, he finds all his friends have been killed and drained of blood.

The baobhan sith don’t have fangs, by the way, just sharp fingernails.
